poolside birthday

Henry's fourth birthday finally rolled around last week, and I am just now getting around to looking at/posting the pictures.  I can't believe that I am the mother of a four year old!  Life is nothing like I thought it would be, and I'm happy.  Henry makes everything worthwile.

The birthday party was a huge success.  It rained off and on that day, and I honestly didn't know if we would have the party or not.  Because I had a lot of last minute projects that wouldn't be good left over, I had to put a lot of things off and give up on some of the stuff I wanted to do.  But it didn't matter.  The weather cleared up and we headed for the pool to party.  The decorations were cute (if I do say so myself), the atmosphere was laid back, and the kids (we had 9 there this time, thanks to preschool buddies!) had a blast.  Henry was thrilled, and that's what matters most. :)
